i have a dell i3, i formatted my laptop yesterday and then i installed all the drivers, after installing idm on my laptop. The screen start flickering and becom black then turned it back when I shutdown laptop and start it again.
after i write the password and log in the screen stays black for a while then it becomes normal, after that the screen starts blinking (going black then normal) while i am closing programs (such as IDM, nothing that important) any way it blinks a few times after its turned on, and then everything goes back to normal and no blinking
it happens every time its turned on
should i ignore it or is it a serious problem???

i've been told by a friend that this usually does the trick.
i also have been through what you're talking about. the laptop is on and everything but still there's nothing that i can see on the screen.

This is what this person said to do.....

1) UNPLUG THE LAPTOP
2) REMOVE THE BATTERY
3) HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO 2 MINUTES
4) THEN PUT THE BATTERY BACK IN
5) START IT UP..
